How to make a Personalized Farmhouse Garden Sign.
The “Garden sign” is a quick and easy Dollar Tree project.
Now that garden season is upon us, my mind is distracted with all things gardening.
I will start planting next week, and I can’t wait.
In anticipation of this year’s garden, I created a garden sign
using an inexpensive galvanized banner purchased at Dollar Tree*.
I made it with a traditional red, white, and blue color scheme.

- Using the Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die-Cutting Machine* and the “garden” SVG file from The Silhouette Store, I created a design for the banner.
- I cut the word garden using StyleTechCraft Dark Blue Glossy Craft Vinyl*.
- To make the banner personalized, I chose a font that complimented the “garden cut file” and cut my name using StyleTechCraft Dark Red Glossy Craft Vinyl*.
There are so many great colors of StyleTechCraft Glossy Craft Vinyl to choose from.
- I removed the extra vinyl in and around the image words using a Vinyl Weeding Pen*.
- Lay the StyleTechCraft Vinyl Transfer Tape* over the vinyl words and gently rub with a vinyl scraper tool.
- Remove the vinyl from its white protective layer and place onto the banner.
- Rub over the vinyl with the scraper tool to transfer the vinyl onto the banner.
- Gently lift the transfer paper from the vinyl.
FYI…the transfer paper is reusable.
- Line up the second layer over the first.
- Gently remove transfer paper from the banner.
- Allow the vinyl to cure for 72 hours before using.
The vinyl on the sign will hold up to the weather and looks great in my garden.
